Very effective and cheap way to understand how the mechanism feels and works. If you are thinking “that can’t possibly work”, this is for you. Each key moves with a feather touch, but somehow also gives satisfying, precise feedback. Also doubles as an addictive fidget toy, as promised.
Good build quality for 3D printed.
The sample cluster was great for learning whether or not my tremors are bad enough to mess up typing on the svalboard (they aren't) and seeing how comfortable the typing experience is (the crispest snap on press that just can't be described). Now it makes a great fidget toy while I hit up the discord and see what progress has been made on a zmk mainboard. I don't need batteries, but I do need bluetooth connectivity.
It's awesome that you can feel how the finger input will work on the assembled device without having to pay for the full Svalboard. It was comforting to know that some of the concerns I had about lateral motions were way less of an issue in real life than what I'd imagined. For those wondering, the cluster is fully assembled with magnets for all five controls, so you can pull it out of the well-packaged box and feel how fingertip typing works immediately. This is an awesome offering to prospective customers that I'm glad exists.
My favorite fiddler right now
